Dorr Township Library

Murder Mystery

Take on the role of a staff member, entertainer, or guest at a private party held at a jazz club in 1920s New York City in this after-hours library program. Enjoy refreshments, banter, and getting to know each character at the beginning of the evening. But don't get too comfortable...because one of the party guests won't make it through the night. Work together using the information you receive in character packets, clues hidden around the library, and more to find out which one of the party guests is the killer. Dress-up is encouraged but not required! Dress as a flapper, a gangster, a waiter, or anything else you think might belong at a 1920’s party! MUST BE AGES 10+ Please call 616-681-9678 or stop into the library to sign up!
